A member asked:

What cream is good for red, flaking skin on the face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diagnosis impt: If the area is itchy, initial benefit might be obtained with 1% hydrocortisone (HC) twice daily for 10 days. However there are conditions such as rosacea, contact dermatitis, and other lesions such as pre-cancers which will not respond to this effort...so a visit to a specialist is recommended if the HC fails to help.
